Minis 03 24

On Sunday, 24 March, the Club’s Mini Rugby Section hosted the famous Stewart’s Melville RFC from Edinburgh at U9, U10 and U11 level. Head of Mini Rugby Lyndsey Langlands reports that the day saw over 200 Scottish visitors at Preston Avenue.

It was fantastic to see so many youngsters participating and a great day was had by all. The Mini and Junior sections are the life blood of the Club and so many players from our successful senior sides graduate through the junior sections which is a credit to all of the coaches and volunteers who make this possible. Thank you one and all.

FRANK HARDING

Ian ron frank Twickenham 

It is our sad duty to report that former Percy Park player Frank Harding died on Friday 12th January 24. The following words are from his life-long friend and former team mate Ron Tennick:-

Frank was at West Moor School under the tutelage of Don Broughton (outside half at Park),and he played for the Percy Park Under 19s.

On leaving school he joined Proctor and Gamble for two years after which he went to Loughborough to study PE and maths. Whilst there he chose to come home and play for Park and was vice captain in the 66/67 season. 


At school Frank played hooker but we converted him to flanker along with Ian Nicholson. On leaving College he took up a teaching appointment in Northwood, Middx. and joined Wasps. 


In 1972 when I joined the staff at Twickenham I persuaded him to get involved in the England schools under 16s. Eventually he became a national selector, then Hon secretary and eventually Chairman. Very highly thought of in all those roles. He retired from teaching and settled in High Wycombe.


A keen golfer until 5 years ago when he started with various health problems until he passed away on 12th January. He is survived by his wife Cherry and his two children Jemma and Paul.
